the commonwealth don't like sending people to jail As they then have to pay the states to keep them in prison and the states charge them like $400 a day.And things are abit tight at present

Once they privatise the prisons and they will soon here in QLD; I suppose it'll cost $1400 a day Dink The latest news about QLD's dreadful run at privatisation, the hospitals are next and have just heard the Dept of Housing will also go very soon Looks like the rent will go through the roof next also

and of course those money making prisoners never get out, every slight infringement means loss of remission.
